Morgan Strickland.

Between 2011 and 2016, Morgan Strickland filed public-works jobs for Spokane County Purchasing and the Stevens County Public Utility District, working under a prime contractor each time. That kind of work tends to mean fence lines around county and utility sites, built to a spec someone else wrote. The state lists Morgan Strickland as a principal since 2011, the year the business was established. Work comes in through referrals, repeat customers and other contractors rather than advertising. The fit is a fencing job: a new run around a yard or pasture, a replacement on a commercial lot, or repairs to a line that's been knocked down or has sagged. A general contractor looking for a fencing sub on a county or utility project will also find the shape of the work familiar. Anyone needing framing, electrical or a whole-house project should look to a different trade, since fencing is what this business does. Fence work splits two ways. A few broken rails, a leaning post or a gate that won't latch is a short visit, and a small local installer is usually the quickest and simplest call. A full perimeter on acreage around Deer Park or Mead is a bigger job: property lines need to be confirmed, utilities located before digging, and post depth matters where frost heave pushes posts up over the winter. On a larger project, ask how the installer handles the line survey and the utility locate, and what material suits the ground and the use.
